Hi there..
	I was wondering if any one out there had an answer to
the following question.

	Why does the cursor move one character to the left in the
VI editor  when one gets out of insert mode..(on any UNIX system..) ?. 
( apparently this "feature" does not exist in any other editors...)...

		This might sound like a trivial question..(it is I
guess :-))...this came up in a discussion with a friend of mine about
the differences in editors...

			Thanks...
			  Tom..
